We are extending the rollout of the new curriculum to give teachers the right amount of time to get around the new syllabuses and prioritise the key areas of literacy and numeracy.

Loved visiting @UniofOxford today & the tour provided - what an amazing place for students & staff. Getting the itch to study again post PhD - but what would I do? 📚 🤓 🤔

[Jake Little @JakeLittle91]

⤵️ It has been fun! Loved all the questions coming in from teachers & parents, all over NSW. Lots of enthusiasm for the great new NSW maths K-2 syllabus for 2023

[mystemdr @mystemdr]

What a massive 6 months! Dr Jake has loved helping out NSW teachers & parents prepare for the new K-2 maths syllabus being implemented this year! Hope the bite-sized videos on key changes in Number help you all out! https://t.co/hYAmGrMIPv

Really like the idea of ‘what else do I know?’ - nice work @jkblue and Daniel Proctor #mathstolife

[Jake Little @JakeLittle91]

@jkblue & Daniel Proctor just having fun! Working with the big ideas in Stage 4 Number #mathstolife

The ‘opening act’ @misterwootube very funny 🤣 #mathstolife

[Jake Little @JakeLittle91]

Room is full! & with all my maths friends ❤️ - a fun day ahead! #mathstolife 4 years in the waiting! @UNSW_ED @UNSW

Youth in STEM report. Despite equal achievement, girls less confident than boys in maths. My PhD showed importance of linking maths to social/relevant issues for girls. Students' further study influenced in order of parents, friends, then teachers 😐 https://t.co/lJUKMGR1WQ

@RebekahPoole13 Made me laugh 🤣 don’t spill the coffee!

[Jake Little @JakeLittle91]

Too accurate! & too common in maths. Much prefer concrete, pictorial, abstract - with a strong research backing

[Robert Kaplinsky @robertkaplinsky]

Here's @NatBanting's accurate take on I do, we do, you do.

[Jake Little @JakeLittle91]

@LeeHyland They’ve had enough 🤣

[Jake Little @JakeLittle91]

Enjoying helping primary teachers to prepare for implementation of the new K-2 maths. Many evidence-based changes to teaching needed - teachers need time in Term 4 to prepare - the new NSW syllabus requires a rethink for how maths is taught 🙌 PS: my cats are over me atm🐱🤣

[mystemdr @mystemdr]

Big milestone - celebrating with my cats who have to listen everyday 🤣 reached more than 2000 views on the videos, & trying to keep up with all the questions & requests from teachers! Keep them coming 🙌
